In the field of high-reliability electronic interconnection, choosing the correct cable and wire harness solution is crucial. AirBorn, as an American aerospace-grade connector and cable manufacturer with a history of over 60 years, designs its products for extreme environments and critical mission applications, and is widely used in aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial systems. AirBorn is now a brand under Molex, continuing its high-standard material selection and structural design philosophy, providing trusted solutions for the high-end interconnect market.
I. Advantages of Materials and Structure for Avionics Wiring Harness
AirBorn high-reliability cable and harness components adopt strict material standards and rigorous process control to meet the requirements of high-reliability applications:
High-quality conductor materials: Utilizing high-conductivity copper and silver-plated copper materials, ensuring stable signal transmission, high impedance consistency, and excellent anti-corrosion and aging resistance.
High-performance insulation and sheath: Select high-temperature insulation materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and cross-linked polyethylene according to environmental requirements to achieve multiple properties such as high and low temperature resistance, wear resistance, and flame retardancy.
Structure design is precise and reliable: AirBorn cables pay attention to lightweight, vibration resistance, and bending resistance in structural design, while optimizing the termination and connection structure design, effectively reducing signal reflection and loss.
These materials and structural advantages enable AirBorn cable assemblies to continuously and stably operate under extreme temperatures, strong vibrations, electromagnetic interference, and other harsh conditions.
Selection and Compatibility, as well as Reference and Recommendations for Alternative Solutions
In the actual engineering selection, it is necessary to choose the most suitable AirBorn cable component according to the specific application environment and performance indicators, while considering compatibility and domestic substitution solutions.
Selection suggestions
Check the working current and voltage, reserve a margin (recommend more than 20%), to ensure long-term stability.
Environmental conditions such as high temperature and strong corrosion should give priority to high heat resistance and chemical insulation materials.
Connector interface standard, confirm the interface type (micro, round, double-row, etc.) for compatibility with the device, and reserve replaceable space.
Compatibility and Domestic Alternative Solutions Suggestion
Currently, the development of high-reliability domestic cable harnesses is rapid and can serve as an alternative solution for AirBorn.
Compare the core indicators such as temperature range, shielding performance, and vibration test results of domestic substitute products to ensure that the performance meets the final application.
Develop test plans and pilot production verification with suppliers to reduce risks after mass production.
The domestic substitution scheme can not only alleviate the pressure on the supply chain but also provide advantages in cost control and localization of services.
The AirBorn series of high-reliability cable and harness components, with high-quality materials, reasonable structural design, and technical support from Molex, perform excellently in extreme application scenarios, especially suitable for key fields such as aerospace, defense, and high-end medical care. Combined with rigorous selection methods, compatibility verification, and domestic substitution strategy, engineers can provide more stable and cost-effective interconnection solutions for the system.
We are continuously focusing on the domestic substitution research and development of AirBorn brand connectors and high-reliability wiring harnesses, and the development of market application solutions.
